Motti Colman scored his first-ever hat-trick as GB marched into the last four of a futsal competition for the first time, as Jonny Cohen’s troops found their shooting boots in a 7-4 victory over Estonia.

The Masters Futsal put in a brave performance before going down 8-1 against competition favourites Russia.

A combination of good organisation, shape and discipline helped GB keep the match goalless for the opening 18 minutes. They also rode their luck at times with the woodwork coming to the rescue on three occasions as well as keeper Phil Caplin producing a number of heroic saves.

Strikes from TJ Keterman and Daniel Stanton helped GB edge past Switzerland 2-1 to maintain their gold medal hopes in the Open football competition on Day Three of the European Maccabi Games in Vienna.

But the result did not give a true reflection of the match as Swiss keeper Mathieu Wolownick made several world-class saves to keep his team in the game.
